Courtney Force raced her way to the semifinals of the Auto Club NHRA Nationals on Sunday in Pomona, California. However, it was her Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car that caught lots of extra attention.
Force’s ride was covered with Taylor Swift’s face.

“My team and I are always playing her songs to get in the zone and prepare to battle it out against the boys on race day. I hope to finish out our season on a high note while promoting Taylor’s album release at over 330 mph and hopefully celebrating in the winner’s circle with my team on Sunday,” Force said in a recent news release leading up to the race.
